I promised to post actual outfits worn to my recent work travel trip when discussing the capsule here, but couldn't snap the photos while on the trip. Thus, I recreated the outfits when back while unpacking.
The capsule worked very well and I was quite pleased. I did not need the oxfords or some extra tops, but it was good to have them. I wore all the outfits as planned, with the exception of the final/casual dinner out, instead of the planned nicer mixed media top I wore a simple cashmere sweater as I was craving comfort and warmth. I only snapped a photo with the coat and and the bag in the first outfit, but you can imagine them over everything else, too.
1st outfit, worn for travel both ways (#1-3): striped sweater with dotty scarf, cuffed jeans, cream high top Converse, navy coat and bag.
2nd outfit (#4-5), for the reception the evening before: patterned silk blouse, dark flare jeans, navy blazer, navy booties.
3rd outfit (#6), for the first workshop day: navy suit, cream knit, navy booties, patterned silk scarf
4th outfit (#7-9), for the second workshop day: pattern mix in navy/cobalt/cream: plaid blazer and striped merino sweater, wide navy pants, navy booties. Wore the jacket first buttoned and later opened. Got a compliment that I was looking "colorful" that day.
5th outfit (#10), a casual dinner out before driving back the next morning: blue cashmere sweater, jeans, navy booties, a different patterned silk scarf.
